We obtain several estimates for bilinear form with exponential sums with binomials $mx^k + nx^\ell$. In particular we show the existence of nontrivial cancellations between such sums when the coefficients $m$ and $n$ vary over rather sparse sets of general nature
We study the distribution of squares in a Piatetski-Shapiro sequence $\left(\lfloor n^c\rfloor\right)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ with $c>1$ and $c\not\in\mathbb N$. We also study more general equations $\lfloor{n^c}\rfloor = sm^2$, $n,m\in \mathbb N$, $1\le n \le N$ for an integer $s$ and obtain several bounds on the number of solutions for a fixed $s$ and on average over $s$ in an interval. These results are based on various techniques chosen depending on the range of the parameters.
We obtain an asymptotic formula for the average value of the divisor function over the integers $n \le x$ in an arithmetic progression $n \equiv a \pmod q$, where $q=p^k$ for a prime $p\ge 3$ and a sufficiently large integer $k$. In particular, we break the classical barrier $q \le x^{2/3}$ for such formulas, and generalise a recent result of R.~Khan (2015), making it uniform in $k$.
Let $d_{α, β}(n)=\sum\limits_{\substack{n=kl αl 1.$ It has an analytic continuation to $\Re s>1/3.$ We get an asymptotic formula for the mean square of $ζ_{α,β}(s)$ in the strip $1/2<\Re s<1$. As an application, we improve an result on the distribution of primitive Pythagorean triangles.
We investigated the dielectric properties of Pb(Fe1/2Nb1/2)1-xTixO3 single crystals below room temperature. Two dielectric anomalies were detected in sample A while only one was detected in sample B in the temperature range 90~300 K. A Debye-like relaxation with strong frequency dispersion was detected in both samples. The pre-edge XAFS suggests that this dielectric anomaly is induced by the hopping conductivity between Fe2+ and Fe3+. The EXAFS results give us a clear picture of the local structure of iron ions. The weak frequency dependent dielectric anomaly only observed in sample A is supposed to be due to the dipole glass behavior.
The giant and negative dielectric tunability of Pb(Fe1/2Nb1/2)1-xTixO3 single crystals is reported. A low field of 120 V/cm can induce a great reduction of the capacitance, and the tunability is larger than 80% in low frequency range (<1 MHz) at room temperature. This giant tunability is ascribed to the interfacial polarization at the interface of electrode/sample. A negative dielectric tunability detected only in the tetragonal sample can be also attributed to the interfacial polarization. The origin of the giant and negative tunabilities is discussed with the multipolarization-mechanism model and equivalent circuit model, respectively.
